Please bring proper dance attire, shoes and tap shoes if you have them. You may be asked to prepare material or to read from the script later in the day. Pay or stipend will be involved for most roles. We intend to have the 2013 season follow a repertory format for our actors. This means that all full-season actors will be assigned additional duties as assistant stage managers (ASMs) or in costumes, set design, lighting, or admin for any production that they are not cast. Actors interested in performing only one show should attend the local auditions. We have many opportunities for actors in one or more shows that would not require the same additional / ASM duties as the repertory company living in theatre housing.
For any additional questions please contact Jeniffer Hankinson (General Manager) or Adam Karsten (Managing Artistic Director) at auditions@weathervaneplayhouse.org
